Home

Home is wherever you feel safe and for me I feel safest in the mountains. I took this in Saint George where we visit often and it really feels like home. 

Rules Of Composition

Balance

This image portrays balance well by having each side symmetrical. 

Simplicity

Having everything but the subject negative space helps make it simple and easy to look at. 

Leading Lines

The fence lines help lead to the subject. 

Perspective

The subject is a different perspective than normal which emphasizes it. 

Harmony

The photo is very balanced and has soft tones which make it feel peaceful. 

Framing

The negative space from the window helps to frame the subject in the middle. 

Repetition

The flower petals repeat several times which create the repetition effect. 

Avoiding mergers 

The background was out of focus to make sure the puppy and chair didn't merge with anything in the background.

Rule of thirds

The subject is in the top right corner of  a third intersection.

Is a "bad" photo still an artistic photo?

Yes it is! Creativity cannot be defined as good or bad. What's good to some is bad to others and vice versa. Artists create things from feelings and ideas they have, and there's no such thing as a "bad" idea.
